I am. You can't hurt my feelings in any way. But don't even think of taking the lords' name in vain. I wanted to see how many of you guys are christian, and wanted to hear your testimony. Here's mine:

I was ten years old, and had been at the church for 5 to 8 years. One day in Sunday School the pastor came around and asked if anyone wanted to become a christian. I raised my hand and he took me to his office to pray with me. He told me after we were done that couldn't go around not saying anything about my salvation or I really wasn't a christian. Afterwards I went down to the fellowship hall and went around telling everyone I was a christian. About 2 or 3 weeks later I was baptized.

Subject: icon_none Re: Christians
I was born Lutheran but converted to Christianity. I was baptized before I was one.

I am not a strong believer, I do not go to church every week. But I still pray to the Lord when someone I know is sick, or when I am blessing a meal that I am eating.

At least you know the single most powerful tool a christian needs to know.

Subject: icon_none Re: Christians
Just to let you know, not everyone is open to discussing faith on the internet, there are plenty of debate threads about the existence of a greater being but some forums may not appreciate it. I'm sure that no one on this forum would be insensitive enough to insult you if they did not believe what you do but be careful where you post things like this, I have seen these sort of threads explode into a flame war before.

Wow, I got through that whole post without stating whether I'm religious or not.

I'm a Christian. I go to church almost every week. But that's not what's important. The important thing is believing in Christ as Savior. Confessing your sins, and Beliving Jesus was raised from the dead!

GO CHRISTIANS!

There you go nikc-nack.

@NP
Although I see your point, some people like to, that way we can talk. If someone don't like this thread they don't have to post here. Although I won't be deleting your post.

@WZ
I accept you are atheist, and won't condone you for being so. But really will pray you would come to the lord.

Subject: icon_none Re: Christians
Thank you for your understanding, BUT, but you really shouldn't say something like "But really will pray you would come to the lord.", that could be seen as an attempt at conversion and, as you have demonstrated, some people's beliefs are so deep seated that that could be offensive.

EDIT: Also, I don't think you used 'condone' right there. It sounds odd.

EDIT2: While this sort of goes against what I said, I want to know two things:
1. What attracted you to Christianity?
2. What's your opinion of the Jewish faith?

For one I don't know much about the Jewish faith. The christian church I was raised in. I love the lord and to your first paragraph about deep seated belief, the same goes for me. That may be an attempt at conversion, but no one can tell me I have to shut this down just because it hurts their feelings. I'm not the U.S. Gov. I don't care if you think you're allowed to talk about your religion and I'm not. That would be a hypocrite, and by my religion HYPOCRITES GO TO HELL. But you're free to believe whatever you want.

Subject: icon_none Re: Christians
You completely misread my statement, so to answer those unfounded comments:
1. I asked because the old (Jewish) testament is waaay more interesting than the new (Christian) testament.
2. I already said you are deep seated in your belief.
3. Michael Atkinson, South Australian MP, has banned the R rating because it hurts his feelings, just saying.
4. US Gov.? What does that have to do with anything?
5. I haven't even mentioned if I'm religious or not yet, or even what religion.
6. Go to hell? I could just go to a confessional, or repent my sins, or some silt (noun. a type of river dirt) such as that.
7. THERE IS NO NEED TO USE CAPS ON THE INTERNET. EVER. iT Is JuSt aS BaD As ThIs!?1one!!

EDIT: I think you just my killed brain after I compared my above statement to your reply. Please read carefully and never reply hastily or without thought. May Raptor Jesus protect you.

EDIT2: I just remembered that Christianity refers to the Jews as the hypocrites in some bits of the bible, sort of racist aint it.Fun Trivia#1

Ladies please, please I think you're completely missing the sole purpose of religion...MONEY. A couple of thousand years ago a brilliant doctor realised 'Holy Crap people are dumb! If I play Messiah for a few years these idiots are gonna follow my genius arse to the grave. Hell if i pay off a few Roman officers they'll all think I've been resurrected and they'll keep givin' me and my buddies plenty of cash. I'll make 'em pay cash once a week... I know! I'll even make the fools pay thousands just for a decent funeral. I'll even get people to send armies that rape pillage and murder people who think differently to me. I might even send them some sort of 'loving peaceful' message just so I'm not to blame. Goddammit I'm brilliant!'

Frankly, I'm surprised you Christians can afford enough internet to post your incredibly misguided failures for life...
Wait a second, that didn't breach any rules did it?...Hope not...Wouldn't want my post to get deleted...

Levi you were warned

;-) Good for you, although I shall point out that it is spelled "atheist" without the second 'e'.

Alright, just the thing we need, a full-on flame war! Although most of your information is true, you are unfortunately practicing trollish behavior. Please stop, because no one likes an obvious troll.

In fact, why the heck do we even HAVE this topic?

Oh, and Levi2251,
This little song by Palette Swap Ninja should make things clear for you:

Subject: icon_none Re: Christians
Zargy - Nice song :mryellow: I'm defiantly going to tell a friend to listen to it :wink:

Subject: icon_none Re: Christians
Ok. That song is good. I never did mean to even come close to start a fight. And really the only people I really wanted to talk to here was christians. No offense to anyone else.

BTW JIMMY YOU ARE NO ADMIN SO NO WARNING IS THERE? THAT IS DEFINITELY TROLLING, FOR ONE, AND FOR TWO EVERYONE HAS THERE OWN OPINION. AND FOR ALL I KNOW, BEING AWAY FOR SO LONG, YOU MAY HAVE BROKEN A RULE, SO I AM GOING TO CHECK RIGHT NOW AND LOCKING THIS TOPIC THANKS TO EVERYONE ELSE'S OPINIONS(AND YOURS) I DIDN'T WANT HERE.

Subject: icon_none Re: Christians
Everyone calm down..
